Part 8/14:
Society’s Growing Disconnection and Brain Drain
Many young, talented Britons are leaving for better opportunities abroad, citing energy costs, regulatory barriers, and a bleak future. The "brain drain" threatens Britain's long-term competitiveness, especially in sectors like technology and research. Despite the country’s strengths—world-class universities, institutions, and history—the current environment discourages innovation and entrepreneurship.
There is a palpable frustration among the younger generation, with some feeling they have no choice but to emigrate or accept decline. The current government’s inability to foster growth and stability fuels this exodus, making future recovery more difficult.
